Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire
default            204.244.99.76      UGc         0        0      tun0
10/24              link#1             UC          0        0 
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0        0       lo0
204.244.99.76      204.244.99.124     UH          1        0      tun0

Here is the output from netstat -rn on my system. I am having a hard time 
getting the route correct as the ppp wants to pull the ip of the router I 
dial into as the gateway when its not. The gateway is 204.244.99.65. the 
router is 204.244.99.76 (there are two more at 74 adn 75 also) and in this 
example 204.244.99.124 was dynamically assigned.
Are the last two ip's in the right place? should they not be reversed?
124 the destination and .76 the gateway?

How do I make it so that the router (there are three of them I can dial 
into) is not recognized as paart of the route?

And where can I get more info ont he flags? U is UP G is Gateway and I 
know H is for HOST, but Ive seen others c for one and S. I have a shell 
on an AIX box that has some info but not enough to go on to "port" to my 
situation.

What should a proper route table look like for a machine dialed out via 
ppp with either a dynamcially assied ip or a staic one. (I can have both)

Its just the router problem thats got me stymied and frustrated.

Well off to read the faq and handbook again...
Thanks for any info...
